Game 1 vs SJS




Post game thoughts: the most telling stat for this game? DET had 27 give aways compared to SJS 7 take aways.. DET out hit SJS, out shot them (although SJS played the trap after the 2-0 lead) and seemed to be able to skate with them.. The key to this game was mistakes.. Plain and simple: DET made them and SJS did not.. Does DET have to play a perfect series to win? No. But they have to play a better game than they did.. SJS took care of the puck, got out to an early lead (beautiful first PP goal and a lucky second goal) and then played lock down the rest of the way.. I expect a much better game on Saturday.. If its not then the Trashcan will make a very early appearance..

Damn, did OTT look good early tonight.. Typical Sens they tried to give it away.. Fellas need to button it up to make my predictions come true (DET vs OTT in the finals)..

Final: SJS 2 - DET 0

Next Game: Saturday 3:00 NBC
